It's a good start for a new series and I was fascinated by the magical system and the world building.
It's got the potential to become an epic dark fantasy series even if there's some issue in this first installment.
There's not a lot of action and the plot is quite static as it took a long time before it moved on. As it's a very complex world I assume the author wanted to deliver a detailed introduction to this world and these characters.
The characters are interesting, each of them represent a different god and each of thm has something that can help the quest to succeed even if they've got different agenda.
I think they will evolve in the next book.
That said I enjoyed the story and find it gripping and fascinating.
I can't wait to read the next story.
